They'll be up against the pairing of Alexander Erler and Andreas Mies, who won this year's tournament in Kitzbühel.
Erler's highest doubles ranking is 32nd in the world. Mies is a more familiar name on the circuit, having already won the French Open twice alongside Kevin Krawietz.
Should Djokovic and Kyrgios make it past the 1st round, they will then face the tournament's No.1 seeds Nikola Mektic and Michael Venus.
